Raj Singh

Renamed in memory of John Hawksworth, a stalwart member who passed this day 2nd August 2020. RIP Mr Monkeybutt.

Sadly we must add the name of Kevin Minton, Aka Mr Ripper who passed 30/6/22. Kev was also Mr politically incorrect but a nicer lad you could never meet.

How do you think a meet and greet , a Q&A evening would go down?
I think it would be a fantastic way to go, building bridges.... sctatchinghead :wink:
I have some questions.
Have I breached legal etiquette here?

For a start he would need a list of the questions then he would select the ones he was prepared to answer, waste of time.

Agree.
He did one of these on you tube a few years ago.
Obviously the dodgy questions were binned.

Not a chance he would do an open meeting with the fans like Garry Gibson did in the Boilermakers club back in the day.

I very much doubt the idea would appeal to him at the present time…if we had a good start to the season possibly, but building bridges or expecting reasonable debate could be a pointless exercise.
It’s football, if things are good on the pitch, you have a much more responsive audience… if not, pull the covers over your head and wait till the opportunity arises.

might work if the audiance is picked from the 67% only as otherwise chaos would reign. you know what its like on here when i subject is brought up and in the end there is nothing to read on the original subject.

I'm pretty sure the 63% would be asking pretty much the same questions as the 27%.

Bridges to build? no chance.
Tons of debts to put right,No chance. And people at the club just amble along as if all is OK! Yous are complicit.

Its no wonder people struggle to takeover, The debt is insurmountable!

My question would be why is there no sale? There's buyers there with backing. I'm just totally baffled by it all.
I'd love for that one question to be answered.

Looks like the debt will get higher.

I'm sure someone posted a while back he pays himself a good weekly wage.
And a certain poster said that was OK.

I've totally give up on a takeover.
But am still desperate for us to get back to the EFL.

Like Grey said pointless bitch moaning anymore. sctatchinghead :lol:

Words eh.
It is a message boardinnit!!!

You would think to be a consultant he would have to know what he is doing and he himself admitted he does not know anything about running a football club. This beggars the question are other members of the invisible board on retainers ???

Is Lennie still at the club.

Can't imagine Larry letting him interfere.
In fact I reckon he's a hard man disciplariun.

I like his interviews were he says I need to do this and not We.

A feel a bit of DC in his attitude.
There's a little glimmer somewhere in me head :clap: :lol:

he possibly comes over better in interviews than anybody post challinor. does seem to know what he is doing and what he wants and hopefully has the dull squad behind him which i feel has not been the case in the past. just hope this glimmer is dor the long haul and not estinguished once the season gets underway.

Because raj loves the fact he owns a football club, without it he would be a nobody. Everyone that's tried to deal with him including challinor seem to want to pull their hair out. If he wanted to sell he would of just a complete time waster. While he is here we will tread water, winning a few games against terrible opposition might take the heat off him for a few weeks but it won't last long when the real opposition rock up.

even if we did get lucky this season and have a good one it will not be him that caused it. it will be the manager, staff and players who did it. all he will have done is just got lucky for once with his if you do not succeed try and try again approach.

I don't think that is fair .. IF we have a successful season, he will deserve credit for recruiting the manager / backing him with players.....he deserves criticism for Hartley, Phillips, Askey Sacking and Sarll etc.. but in the same way should get credit for Challinor.

My opinion is we have a lot of pre-season optimism as usual, and Grayson is competent but our squad isnt strong enough and it will be exposed as such once the games start coming and injuries bite.....we haven't even sorted our keeper out yet 2 weeks before the season starts

I was expecting relegation but given recent recruiting I think around mid table---though my confidence either side of that is low (ie we may do a lot better or worse than that given so little known about new players and how lucky or unlucky we get with injuries)

Our physio needs a quieter season.
Could be worth 7 pts.

I'm expecting 4 pts from the first 2 games.
First test of this new squad is game 3 Alty away.

Then the proper tests in October.

For me that's when we know Realistically we're we are going.

Still a shit division we're a club of our stature shudent be missing out on a play off spot against.

Ambition eh.
